T-206 Blue Old Mill Back to be in Next REA auction

[hpkatz26]

Hello all T-206 collectors -

About a year ago I wrote about having a Blue Old Mill back in my collection. This card is unique because its face is an Elberfeld Washington portrait while its back is a BLUE Old Mill back. To the best of my knowledge only 3 blue Old Mill backs exist and only 2 of these have been authenticated and graded. This card is one of those.

I've decided to put my card up for auction at the next REA auction in December. So if you want to add a unique T-206 card for your collection, be on the look out for it.

Happy collecting and best regards to all. Howard

PS Apologies to Leon for posting this in the wrong place at first. Hope this time I got it right.

It will be interesting to see since, if I’m not mistaken, the other two are from the 150/350 series.

I've seen two of these in person and they definitly are blue, good luck!

I was something of a skeptic, but I've seen this Elberfeld in real life and it's for sure blue. Happened to have my Elberfeld normal OM on me so we compared and the text is 100% a different color. GL with the sale H!

Uncle Nacki’s video is pretty convincing too. If it were a printer’s mistake you’d think they’d be from the same sheet...my series print history must be off. Did Ted Z have a take on these?

Had it in hand as well, no doubt about it, and the seller is a great guy to boot!

Elberfeld (Portrait-Washington) is from the same print group and would
have been on the same Old Mill sheets as the other 150/350 subjects.

Well there ya go. I was misreading Ted Z’s Old Mill Reference post. My mistake, bring on the Blue Old Mills!
